“Fragile: Handle With Care” are the words that appear on the side of boxes that contain items such as glass that are easily broken. The same can be said of man.
As I sit in a doctor’s office, l notice all the people there for injuries sustained in the course of daily life. Some are in wheel chairs, some are on crutches, some with body parts in slings, and still others hopping along. Our bodies are fragile and easily broken down by injury or disease.
God has also taken notice of our condition and is not without compassion as it is written “for he knows our frame, he remembers that we are dust” – Psalm 103:13. We need to remember this about ourselves and each other on a daily basis.
Seeing we can be broken at any moment, let us be careful with how we carry ourselves and practice having more love and patience for our fellow fragile human beings. For after all, when you are living in a glass house it’s not wise to throw stones.
